Amelia Sleeps!

Oh happy day... or should I say morning?! Just wanted to let everyone know that Amelia slept through the night. We did have a rough start. Mommy gave Amelia a bath with her rubber ducky and used the lavendar shampoo to help calm her around 8p. Then she fed her, burped her and rocked her. Then she was put down in her crib. But about 4 minutes later she was up again. Then Daddy had a go. Same thing happened. Then Mommy tried again, this time swaddling her arms, feeding her again and then walking and singing to her. At 9:45p, Amelia was passed out in her crib. Mommy woke up at 2:45a and checked on Amelia. Still sleeping soundly, so Mommy pumped for future use then went back to bed. At 6a, Mommy heard Amelia on the monitor. She slept for 8 hours straight! Wowee!


However, there was a downside this morning. After Amelia woke up, Mommy fed her. When she was lifting her to burp her, spit up all over the sheets in bed. Mommy didn't have time to put the burp cloth down in front of her. So Mommy is doing laundry at 7a! Hee hee!


Here are a few pictures! The first is Amelia riding in her stroller sitting up. She likes to sit up and look at the world go by, although you can't tell from this picture! (Click on the picture for a larger view)

Amelia getting her bath last night. She's liking the tub and the water. She was splashing around so much she was getting Mommy all wet. This time Mommy remembered to bring her rubby ducky! (Click on the picture for a larger view)
